That's right J3, Dexter makes a sheet showing the center equalizer and how to tell which kit you need.
Determining the Proper E-X Flex Unit
My trailer had the bottom equalizer, so my center will end up 2" lower, see the difference:

Not a problem though, I've lowered everything to the lowest mounting hole in the hangers, 1" lower will not be a big deal, I had 5½" above the 15" tires before, even with the bigger 16" tires I should end up with 3½" up there when I'm done.

Second side went a lot easier, I'm convinced that if you take the time to line up the shoulder of the bolt at it's nut end with the hole in the hanger you don't need a big press to seat the bolts, just a hammer and pipe or socket.
That big BANG people hear when they use the BJ tool is the shoulder of the bolt finally going through the other end of the hanger.
